I’ve always liked Kevin Spacey, and this quote from a recent speech he gave at the Edinburgh International Television Festival —makes me like him more.

It’s refreshing to see that some people understand what television should become and I only wish that fat-cat TV execs would jump on the bandwagon. I don’t think they realize how much money they miss out on by not embracing technology, and serving content through the medium’s people want it in.

The video is only a bit under 5 minutes. Totally worth watching.
